Set Space Ratio and Alignment

In this example , we are going to explain how we can set space ratio and how we can gives various alignment. You can make pdf with no space between the characters of a word .

Code Description:
setAlignment(int alignment):

We can set the aligment of a Paragraph with the method setAlignment(int alignment). The alignment can be one of the following values:

Element.ALIGN_LEFT
Element.ALIGN_CENTER
Element.ALIGN_RIGHT
Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED

setSpaceCharRatio:
If you want the alignment to be justified, the space between the words can be stretched, as well as the space between the characters of a word. The default ratio of this word-char space is 2.5. You can change this ratio with setSpaceCharRatio. For instance, if you don't want the space between the characters of a word .We can do this by:

writer.setSpaceCharRatio(PdfWriter.NO_SPACE_CHAR_RATIO);

The code of the program is given below:


import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import com.lowagie.text.Document;

import com.lowagie.text.Element;

import com.lowagie.text.PageSize;

import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class SpaceWordRatio {  

  public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {

  System.out.println("Example of Space Word Ratio");  

  Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4,

 50, 350, 50, 50); 

  PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, 

new FileOutputStream("spacewordratio.pdf"));

  document.open();

  String input = "Rose india is a java site which provide

 you online tutorial and online interview question help";

  Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(input);

  paragraph.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);

  document.add(paragraph);

  document.newPage();

  writer.setSpaceCharRatio(PdfWriter.NO_SPACE_CHAR_RATIO);

  document.add(paragraph);

  document.close();

  }

}

The output of the program is given below:
